    I believe the Bald Eagle eats mostly small mammals, as well as fish, and will resort to carrion when needed. They are predator bird, and I have seen one take on a brown pelican in mid-air; spiraling down our of the sun, striking the pelican in mid-flight. I have seen Bald Eagles work as a team to distract a cow from her newborn, so they can get to the after-birth. I have also seen the Bald Eagle pluck fish from Klamath Lake.

    Their primary diet is fish, however they will eat other birds, ducks and such. And anything they can catch at ease.

    They eat fish. That's why their alternate name is the Fish Eagle. We have bunches on the Missouri and Platte rivers. http://bna.birds.cornell.edu/...

    THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT SPECIES OF EAGLES, THE OSPREY AND THE BALD EAGLE USUALLY LIVE BY THE WATER AND IF THEY CAN CATCH THEM, FISH WOULD THERE #1 CHOICE,BUT HAVE BEEN KNOW TO EAT A VARIETY OF FOODS. AS FOR INLAND EAGLES LIKE THE GOLDEN EAGLE SMALL MAMMALS WOULD BE THERE #1 CHOICE, AND MOST LIKELY ANYTHING ELSE THEY CAN FIND.

    A, D, E, F(Just cause I thought this answer was funny but true) :)

    Do you remember being told in school that we would never see a Bald Eagle because they would be extinct before we were adults? I sure do and now I see them all over. :) So beautiful!!!
